2002 Cuvée Contraire - Rosé

2002 Cuvée Contraire - Rosé Wine Details
Price:

Description: This is the third vintage for our proprietary blend of Gamay Noir and Pinot Noir. The Gamay was fermented as a red wine, and was aged for a few months in older barrels. The Pinot was made as a white wine from juice drained from the vats immediately after de-stemming (a process known as saignée). The two lots were blended together just prior to bottling to create this unique, dry, rosé-style wine. The wine has a fresh, spicy aroma with plenty of red fruit that carries through onto the palate. Crisp and clean like a white wine, but with the weight and complexity of a red. Very Limited!
